The metaphor would require to know who represents nowadays the clergy, aristocracy and bourgeoisie. Regarding the vote, it doesn’t matter to know whether you will vote by order (the agreement of two of the three states, and you’ll have the winner) or by head.

The General States can broaden the themes, but they do not constitute the scientific basis for the long-term recovery operational project. For this scientific commitmentit is necessary to see who will work on that salvific project. And if they are exponents of the usual daily or TV politics, pretty much yikers. A General Constituent made up of eminent figures from various fields, not only economic, and politicians chosen for their special skills: It is right this what Italy needs – as it is said in our article “Italy, a Constituent for the aftermath or scoff”.
